Micheál Kelly
Dean of the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics
One of Canada’s most prestigious schools, Lazaridis, develops leaders who can adapt to a world of ever-growing complexity.
Businesses today face challenges such as building more resilience into their supply chain and engaging a remote workforce, says Micheál Kelly, Dean of the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University.
“We’re going to see a lot more disruption in the years to come and companies have to pay attention to the technologies and other organizations that are moving into their space,” says Kelly. “Companies know that they’ll have to improve resilience and build more agility into their operations.
“We’re thinking a lot about the future of business, especially in a post-COVID-19 environment, and how to embed this into the curriculum so students can adapt to a world of complexity.”
The Lazaridis School is preparing students for a rapidly- changing and complex global environment. The school develops leaders with skills in management and economics, advancing knowledge in these fields by supporting theoretical and applied research. A leader in entrepreneurship education, the Lazaridis School is a founding partner of Communitech.
